Campisi’s is a LEGEND in the Dallas pizza scene. The original location on Mocking bird still stands today. The food is very good and their pizza has remained a favorite for loads of folks.

Across the street from the original Mockingbird location is a Kroger that does something I always considered genius–

They sell take-n-bake Campisi’s pizzas. I have seen these for years but never actually bought one before. I always preferred to visit the restaurant but I understand the appeal.

They sell individual sized pizzas that are around 7-8 bucks. This is a tad pricey for a pizza purchased at the grocery store – but hey— you ARE getting a ready-to-go Campisi’s. If it’s just as good then who cares?

The pies themselves do not have any sort of instructions on them on how to cook. There is a sign in-store at Kroger so I reviewed their recommendations in regards to achieving maximum Campisi-perfection.

I was less than impressed with the finished product. The toppings, cheese, and sauce tasted just like I remember it. It was the crust that threw me. It seemed thicker than I remember the average Campisi pie having. The dough also tasted somewhat old or freezer-burn if that’s even possible.

To the average pizza-eater, I am sure it would satisfy, the Campisi-craving. But to a pizza-junkie like myself, it just made me wish I had went to the restaurant instead.

Bryan, it was your basic 400 degrees for 10-20 minutes. I wasn’t sure if this was Kroger’s instructions or from Capmpisi’s people as it was just a handwritten sign stuck to the side of the display.

I didn’t include is as A: if you picked one up at the store you would see the sign yourself and B: I have a new oven and it cooks faster (it’s a convection oven) so I have to adjust times and temp on just about everything I cook.
